I've submitted a less nasty hack that I hope will be built into tomorrow's compose. 16:07:55 #agreed 1127280 - skip - the same reasons as last time 16:07:57 ack (for skipping) 16:08:01 any news on what's going on with freeze? 16:08:44 * kparal waits a bit if anyone has useful info 16:08:57 I have no news about the freeze 16:09:13 sgallagh: do you? 16:09:36 I do 16:10:15 Dennis is working on dealing with an ImageFactory issue holding up the cloud images 16:10:22 As soon as that lands, we'll have an Alpha 16:10:44 TC compose 16:10:45 * danofsatx-work cheers 16:10:47 yes 16:11:14 sgallagh: so what's the current freeze schedule? 16:11:22 it should have been yesterday according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule 16:11:45 * tflink suspects that will be a topic for discussion in today's FESCo meeting 16:11:57 ah, roger 16:11:58 Probably slips a day or two 16:12:17 Since we don't actually have a proper Alpha yet 16:12:17 * nirik was thinking of proposing gating on having a TC compose 16:12:27 nirik: I'd second that 16:12:29 #info TC compose news - Dennis is working on dealing with an ImageFactory issue holding up the cloud images. As soon as that lands, we'll have an Alpha TC 16:12:33 at least that 16:12:51 but not sure how complete we want it, etc. ;) but yeah, fesco will likely discuss today 16:13:00 but why should freeze start be any different than slipping WRT the "whole week or not all" bit? 16:13:22 #topic Schedule discussions 16:13:44 sorry, wasn't trying to derail the meeting 16:14:09 just making sure it's visible in the logs 16:14:10 this is a blocker review meeting - by definition, it can't be derailed 16:14:24 well, the reason for freeze is to stablize a thing for a milestone. If we don't have a compose, things are clearly not stable enough. If we do have a compose, why not go into freeze before more unwanted changes land and destablize it more. 16:14:37 fair point 16:14:59 FE approval process will be a bit more painful 16:15:02 I just worry if we push another week someone will think... "hey, I can land my crazy thing now" 16:15:21 anyhow, dunno 16:15:38 we may be counting our TC's before they are composed anyhow 16:16:13 thanks for updates, let's go back to blockers? 16:16:50 * kparal assumes yes 16:17:06 #topic (1085846) [FAILED] Failed to start Login Service. 16:17:06 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085846 16:17:06 #info Proposed Blocker, glibc, NEW 16:17:20 This is almost certainly a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127103 16:18:34 sgallagh: do you mean it's caused by the compose bug, and once it is fixed it will go away? 16:18:37 I'd close it as such and reopen it if-and-only-if it reoccurs after that bug is fixed. 16:18:40 kparal: Yes 16:18:55 ok, let's do the same approach as for the previous bug 16:20:08 proposed #agreed 1085846 - skip - This is most probably caused by 1127103 and should be resolved once it is fixed. We will re-evaluate this bug if it still persists after 1127103 is fixed. 16:20:23 * sgallagh shrugs. Ack, I guess. 16:20:35 if ^^ acks, then who am i to disagree :) 16:20:39 ack 16:20:49 we can close right away, but we skipped the previous one as well 16:21:00 doesn't matter that much I think 16:21:12 #agreed 1085846 - skip - This is most probably caused by 1127103 and should be resolved once it is fixed. We will re-evaluate this bug if it still persists after 1127103 is fixed. 16:21:30 jskladan: this one needs to be updated in bugzilla, though ;) 16:21:42 * jskladan is working on it 16:21:45 that was all of proposed blockers 16:21:54 (for alpha) 16:22:01 onto proposed FE or not yet since there's no freeze yet? 16:22:06 sgallagh: right 16:22:29 kparal: Let's assume a freeze ends up happening before the next meeting and triage it 16:22:36 ok 16:22:43 ============================================================ 16:22:43 Proposed Freeze Exceptions 16:22:43 ============================================================ 16:22:49 #topic (1116291) [en_US] imsettings-qt pulls in imsettings on Workstation Live causing: can't use any input method in gtk applications for en_US.utf8 locale 16:22:49 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116291 16:22:49 #info Proposed Freeze Exceptions, spin-kickstarts, MODIFIED 16:23:58 Looks like this one should hopefully be resolved in the in-progress TC3 16:24:50 * amita joining late 16:24:51 I'm +1 here, broken input settings is inconvenient for many people 16:24:57 +1 as well 16:25:00 +1 16:25:44 proposed #agreed 1116291 - AcceptedFreezeException 16:26:09 +1 16:26:13 er. ack even 16:26:30 should I provide some reasoning even for FEs?

16:59:48 kparal, I agree with sgallagh, demote to FE 17:00:21 this affects one board, will be fixed when rebased for f21, as time permits 17:00:37 the reason for accepting was: "A system installed without a graphical package set must boot to a state where it is possible to log in through at least one of the default virtual consoles. " 17:01:08 so propose to change to FE based on the fact it affect just a limited range or hardware, is that right? 17:01:22 tflink: do you have any opinion on this? 17:01:42 from what I recall dennis saying last week, I'm OK with FE instead of blocker 17:01:45 kparal, right 17:02:04 * danofsatx-work concurs with tflink 17:02:15 +1 FE 17:02:32 +1 FE 17:02:45 +1 FE 17:02:51 +1 FE 17:03:21 propose #agreed 1044778 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedFreezeException - After re-evaluation, this affects only a single board and does not deserve a blocker status.
